Linguine with Smoked Salmon in Cream Sauce
Omit the salt when cooking the pasta if you are using the smoked salmon in this rich dish. The smoked salmon adds all the saltiness you need.

-
6 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon (lox-style) or cooked fresh salmon
-
2 green onions, thinly sliced (1/4 cup)

1 clove garlic, minced
